Above: Podniestrzanski, circa 1995


Vital Statistics at Time of Disappearance

Missing Since: March 1995 from Clearwater, Florida
Classification: Endangered Missing
Date of Birth: January 9, 1963

Details of Disappearance

Podniestrzanski was last seen by family members in Clearwater, Florida sometime during March 1995. He was due to go on trial on charges of dealing with stolen property on April 6, 1995. Police issued warrants for his arrest when he failed to show up, but Podniestrzanski was not reported as a missing person until May 30, 1997, over two years after his disappearance. His loved ones say he has many friends and enemies. They believe he met with foul play and is no longer alive. Police now share the same view; it is not thought that Podniestrzanski vanished as the result of the trial. He had no permanent address at the time of his disappearance, living instead with various friends and girlfriends. His address was listed as Keystone Mobile Home Park in the 600 block of Clearwater-Largo Road, but occupants of the park do not remember him.
Podniestrzanski has outstanding warrants against him. He has a criminal record for aggravated battery, car theft, driving without a valid licence, disorderly conduct, and probation violation. His case remains unsolved. Investigators believe he met with foul play.

John C. Podniestrzanski was 32 years old when he went missing in March 1995. The police say he has a history of dealing in stolen auto parts and was better known by his street name, Johnny Pod.

“(F)amily members feel that his criminal activity may have contributed to his disappearance,” according to the Clearwater Police Web site. An anonymous donor is offering a $5,000 reward for information about his disappearance.

The New Jersey native, who lived with a series of friends and girlfriends, was facing trial on a charge of dealing in stolen property when he disappeared, so it is possible that he fled to avoid prosecution, but authorities doubt it.

“It’s not just a missing person case,” Florida Department of Law Enforcement agent Lee Strope told local newspapers at the time Podniestrzanski disappeared. “It’s very possible that he’s a victim of foul play.”

Podniestrzanski is a white male who would be 44 years old today. Anybody with information about him, Bernhardt or Thompson should call the Clearwater Police hotline at 562-4080.
